Calle de la Argentina, Espa\u00f1a<\/p>\n
whether it was<\/p>\n
cheaper or had a cherished<\/p>\n
fifth bedroom the family<\/p>\n
preferred the opposite side<\/p>\n
of the street fifteen meters<\/p>\n
facing diverging concrete<\/p>\n
four stains of traffic<\/p>\n
separating them from<\/p>\n
petroleum dust they packed<\/p>\n
their nails and shoes in zip<\/p>\n
lock bags made their escape<\/p>\n
in less than five hours less<\/p>\n
than the time it took for me<\/p>\n
to explore the shelled veins<\/p>\n
of this city the first thing I<\/p>\n
thought was how am I<\/p>\n
supposed to say goodbye<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t even say goodbye<\/p>\n
in my native language<\/p>\n
what if instead I just asked<\/p>\n
how they got the movers so<\/p>\n
riled up so frantic to be<\/p>\n
able to move ancient wood<\/p>\n
and spit up plastic across<\/p>\n
the asphalt maybe in this<\/p>\n
epoch they can light their<\/p>\n
eyes with some kind of<\/p>\n
molecular blaze maybe<\/p>\n
this is what gets them<\/p>\n
going maybe this is what<\/p>\n
keeps them from fleeing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
